Real Ale & Austin Amber @ Stubbs BBQ, Austin, TX
On Sunday night a few of the people that work at Google who were at SXSW met up for dinner at Stubb’s BBQ. I had a fun time, but the food was really underwhelming to me. I had the pulled pork and beef brisket with fried okra and coleslaw for sides. This is Texas. I expected the BBQ to be better than anything that I’d had and it wasn’t. I remember thinking that I like Fat Willy’s and Smokin’ Woody’s in Chicago better. Also, it took us like an hour to get our food. They only had 2 waitresses in the whole restaurant. Actually, I was surprised a few times at the lack of planning by certain restaurants in Austin. It’s not like they didn’t know the festival was coming up! I did enjoy trying two new beers at Stubb’s – Real Ale and Austin Amber. I was drinking the Amber and liked it a lot.

After dinner we went to Club DeVille for the Blogger party. Blogger, the product, not like a party for people who blog.. although I’m sure there were plenty there! I liked the outdoor space at Club DeVille, but it was raining that night, so the ambiance was kind of ruined by a bunch of plastic tents. The schwag Blogger was giving away were these fingerless gloves with the Blogger logo on them. Kind of odd, but everyone wore them all night, so I’m sure the Blogger logo was in ton of photographs.
Also, I don’t know how Justin’s neck didn’t snap with all the things he had on his lanyard every day.
